The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me give you the straight story for Hof Maravi.
First thing you need to know is, it’s pretty grim. Looking at the whole 16-day run, there’s not a single session I’d call good. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. From now, right through until the end of the month and into early September, the surf is tiny and the wind is all wrong. You’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only flicker of life shows up right at the end of the window, over the last weekend of August into the first couple of days of September. Even then, it’s not much. On Friday morning, 28 August, we see a small uptick – a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 105 (combined wave energy). But it’s getting hammered by onshore wind. The afternoon is even worse. By Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August, there’s a 3 ft to 4 ft WNW swell with a slightly better energy reading of 136 to 163, but again, it’s all cross-onshore or onshore winds. The water is warm, but that doesn’t help the choppy, messy conditions. This is a beach/jetty setup, and with the wind howling on it, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
If you’re desperate, the *slightest* chance for a clean wave is on Tuesday morning, 18 August. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the WNW (period 7 seconds), and the energy is low at 68, but for a brief moment, the wind goes glass – dead calm. You’ll get a clean, rippable little wave, but it’s tiny. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch warmer than usual. That’s your only real window for a surf in the first week, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary. The crowds can show up, so you won’t be alone.
Honestly, mate, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long stretch of poor surf. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat for too long, but for now, you might as well wax the board and wait.

Information about the Hof Maravi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hof Maravi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hof Maravi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hof Maravi surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hof Maravi) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hof Maravi may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
